Hi Everyone
When
looking at the recent Club Marine series results it was great to see Maximumm had picked
up a fifth, then followed it up with a win in their performance division. Well done, it makes the effort of going up town worthwhile.
The Gods Kitchen Twilight Pursuit got started in a drifter with a soft breeze coming as the last boats
started. The wind built slowly but unfortunately all but five boats were defeated by the setting sun.
Phoenix
had the best start winning The Rocks prize. Foam Fast led Javelin and Geomatic home.
Sixteen
boats were on the start line for the Queenscliff destination race in cool but pleasant con ditions.
Anna continued her domination of Div.1 performance series with Seduction and Windsong
placings. Tonic won in div.2 from YT2 and Flying Circus and it was Magic Pudding, Beau
in the
Brummell
and Silver Shadow in div. 3. Anna, YT2 and Magic Pudding lead their PHC series.
Div.1
AMS result went to Seduction from Wild Goats and Windsong. It was Tonic again in div.2 from
YT2 and Flying Circus. Magic Pudding was first in div. 3 CBH from Silver Shadow and Beau Brummell.
Seduction YT2 and Magic Pudding lead their series.
Just Another Toy won the combined division trophy race. The flying 15s had two races in their club
championship series which were won by Under The Pump with Lean & Mean and Fly By Night shar ing the minor placings. Easy Rider picked up two of the etchell races with Basic Instinct taking the
other. Dark Joker and Pale and Stout took the minor placing’s. In the series to date Under The
Pump and Basic Instinct hold sway.
The optis had two races for both aggregate and club champs. Race 13 green fleet aggregate
was won by William McKenzie sailing The Force from Jonny Be Good, John Faulkner and Optical
Zoom, Kate James. Race 14 saw Lucky Buoy, Lachlan Weber finish ahead of Holly Shepherd’s Little
Lunatic and Jonny Be Good. The series leader is Jonny Be Good followed by Optical Zoom and
Jolei Spencer’s Uno. Race 13 of the club championships was won by Jonny Be Good followed by
The Force and Little Lunatic. Race 14 again went to Jonny Be Good from Little Lunatic and Lucky
Buoy. The series leader is Jonny Be Good from Optical Zoom and Jack Eickmeyer’s Racer X.

MYC Official Sponsor In the open fleet Imogine Weber and Denver James shared the spoils in their boats Imagine and Eat
My Waves. The aggregate series is led by Eat My Waves from Courtney Lee’s Opti Magic and
Sophie Jackson’s Wave Wipper. Wave Wipper leads the club championship series from Eat My
Waves and Charlie Purcell in The Predator.
This coming Saturday Divs.1 2& 3 have an aggregate and club championship race (see amendment 4 of sailing calendar). The etchells and flying 15s have two aggregate and class races.
On Sunday the OTBs and Optis have two aggregate series races. All divisions and classes have a
Lady Skippers ‘trophy race at 1400 hours.
This Thursday is the final race of the Gods Kitchen twilight series. It is also the draw for the Mariner
